Price: Moderate
• Greek • Fort Point Channel
Booked 89 times today
Committee draws inspiration from the modern day “ouzeri,” a casual meeting spot that can be found throughout Greece. It’s the kind of welcoming place where people get together to talk, relax, and bond over a fresh-made meal. Greeks know that delicious food sets the stage for a great meeting—whether you’re discussing a business deal or simply catching up with old friends. Committee, conceived by a Greek chef, embraces this tradition. Committee veers from the expected by designing its menu around “Meze”—a culinary concept that encourages people to sample and share. Our creative chefs prepare small sharable plates that are brought to the table throughout the meal, allowing diners to experience a wide range of dishes featuring only the freshest local ingredients. If unforgettable food, a fun crowd, and an electric urban scene are on your agenda, the consensus is Committee.

    My cousin decided on The Red Fox for her birthday dinner. Upon arrival to the restaurant e we were seated promptly. The table was nicely setup with a happy birthday card and decorations that she raved about and instantly started snapping photos. Our server Maria was pleasant and attentive from start to finish, she provided great recommendations while being mindful of specific dietary preferences. After our order for beverages were placed, olives and bread was brought over to the table. We ordered an assortment of appetizers tuna crudo, arancini, strangolapreti and caesar salad. Lobster ravioli and orecchiette with pistachio pesto for entrees, everything was tasty. My cousin decided on pistachio gelato which was compliments of the restaurant, came out with a candle! Service was stellar and we will certainly visit again! Thank you to the entire staff for allowing us to have an enjoyable Thursday night out, much appreciated.
